With only 12 divers, the Conroe Diving Club finished third in the overall team standings.

It was a great bonding meet for the divers and coaches. The divers did a really nice job in their individual events and it was fun to see everyone laughing and "high-fiving" each other. I thought we had a good week of practice at the aquatic center and I left the meet feeling very positive. This will be a fun year if everybody continues to support one another and work together as a group. See you at the pool.
